Diamonex® has been developing diamond-like carbon (DLC) and polycrystalline diamond coating (CVD) technologies since 1990 utilizing Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). In addition to coatings, Diamonex® has developed unique ion source technology designed specifically for the deposition of high-quality DLC and DLC-like nanocomposite films. Our radio frequency (RF) DLC process delivers uniform conformal coatings on complex geometries, while our ion-beam technology provides high-quality coatings more suitable for line-of-sight process geometries.
